Aug. 17th 1903.

Dear Madam,
re G.

Adverting to your letter of the 13th inst., I beg to inform you that arrangements have now been made for this lad to be transferred to the Society's Hedgerley Farm Home, nr. Slough, Bucks, on THURSDAY next. May I, therefore, trouble you to kindly see that he is sent to London by the train leaving Chester @ 11.30 due to arrive at Euston @ 3.30, where he will be met. He should be sent clean and tidy with any clothing he may have belonging to him, and I shall be glad to have a line so that I may expect him.
Believe me,

Yours faithfully,

P.S. Do you think you could possibly take the boy "W" whose particulars I enclose? He has for the last two years been in our Home at Seaforth, but the authorities are desirous that he should be removed at a greater distance from his mother.

Mrs. Ernest Peel.
